Indeed. Ideally AI would do every job, so that humans can focus on just doing what we want to do. It'd be like the whole species getting to retire.

You’d rather cheer for people to lose their jobs without anyone calling you out on it, sure.

I’m not the angry one wishing unemployment on my “enemies” here.

Who are you?

What do you want?

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The ideal endpoint is to eliminate the concept of "jobs" entirely. Why should people have to work?

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Okay. So why are you breaking that guy's balls, over automating away jobs, which you don't want to exist?

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Because currently we do need jobs. Otherwise why is he upset about AI in the first place?

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is he?

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sure seems to be, he said he's "stoked" for when AI comes for the "tech bros"' jobs. But maybe he should speak up to clarify his own view, rather than you and I speculating about it in a side thread that wasn't actually about him to begin with?

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Are you sure you know what stoked means? Because it sure isn't anger.

But maybe he should speak up to clarify his own view

Or you could've asked, rather than repeatedly posturing. Especially when he asked you to stop doing that.

You need to examine your behavior throughout this thread.

You were the one who started talking on his behalf all of a sudden.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

So you’re happy to see AI take someone else’s job as long as it isn’t taking your job.

You’d rather cheer for people to lose their jobs without anyone calling you out on it, sure.

I’m not the angry one wishing unemployment on my “enemies” here.

Do you listen to yourself?

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io -1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Yes. What's your point here? Repeatedly quoting my comments back at me isn't adding anything.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I haven't said one word on that guy's behalf.

You've done little else.

You are a massive hypocrite.

If you're not doing this on purpose then you have my pity. Either way: good day.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 0 points 7 months ago

Okay, bye, I guess. I still don't know what exactly you're accusing me of, but whatever.
